Description
To follow up on the works of the International Commercial Arbitration Case Law Subcommittee on case law in international commercial arbitration, this panel will discuss the issue of whether international arbitrators tend to construe international contracts in a strict, black letter manner or rather, with the help of external elements to the international contract, such as the principle of good faith, economic concepts or trade usages.
